Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé Champagne, 75 cl

Cuvee Rose Laurent-Perrier suggests a basket full of small berry fruits: strawberries, raspberries, blackcurrants, blackberries, redcurrants, and morello and black cherries. The overwhelming sensation is freshness. Fruit dominates the palate. Lively, well-rounded wine which combines structure and freshness. The forthright, slightly sharp attack is like breathing the heady aromas of a freshly-picked basket of berry fruits A former cooper and bottler in Chigny-les-Roses, Andre-Michel Pierlot settled in Tours-sur-Marne in 1812 as a negociant in of Champagne. It was in this village, on plots named Les Plaisances and La Tour Glorieux that he founded what was later to become Laurent-Perrier. His son, Alphonse Pierlot, succeeded him and, not having any heirs, he subsequently bequeathed the House to his cellar master, Eugene Laurent. Following his accidental death in 1887, Eugene's widow, Mathilde Emilie Perrier, took the helm and renamed the business Veuve Laurent-Perrier. THE Rose from Champagne
